Description

it targeted me out of nowhere, representing thanks for support never given. i emailed the redcross to verify the oddly long and different email address to no avail. none of the emails contained anything besides redcross.org - None contained "american" or articles like "the" i do not believe it is legal to represent yourself as another to obtain fraudulant contributions under deceptively falsely advertised names and institutions. for them to be legal, a disclaimer must be included, to clearly state they are not "the red cross" As in any other advertising or business situations. What failure administration red cross is, as to not even respond to my attempted verification of a solicitation attempt under "their name or similar name" clearly designed to deceive. "I WAS DECEIVED" now i question Red Cross leaders and administration too.
